Canon G2 LCD Monitor won't display

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Hi. I recently had to change my camera battery after almost 3 years of
use. Toward the end, the LCD monitor stopped working, and I assumed it
was because the battery was not holding a charge.

I've since replaced the battery, but the LCD monitor won't display.
Otherwise, the camera works fine.

The manual said the monitor will automatically come on when you change
to movie mode - no luck.
I can't use the menu to determine what any of my settings are, and now
the date and time are messed up (01-01-1980).

So I'm lookig for a way to maybe reset the camera and see if the
defaults will work. Any suggstions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
